Fending off the Vending Machine

Every day, you're faced with a
few small choices that can make a big difference to your health. When you're on
the go, grabbing a snack or even a meal from a vending machine is an easy
shortcut that we've all taken. But you can do yourself a favor and choose a
granola bar or raisins or something else with less fat and calories. You can
also make an effort to use the vending machine only on occasion. This little
pitfall is just one of many that can impact your health. This website is here to guide you in making better nutrition choices throughout your
entire day.

Healthy Options

In 2004, the Independent Health Foundation
created the Healthy Options Buffalo program to help our community make informed
decisions about healthy eating, and as a result, help address the high rates of
stroke and heart disease prevalent in Western New York. Through this program, the
Foundation works with area restaurants to offer heart-healthy food options that
are considered lower in fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, and sodium. To learn more about the Healthy Options program, click here.
